Treatment Overview
Propolis Calming Mask Therapy is a Korean dermatology treatment that uses propolis extract—a natural bee resin known for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and healing properties—to manage rosacea symptoms such as redness, irritation, and flare-ups.
In Korean clinics, propolis is often applied through soothing sheet masks, hydrating gel masks, or post-laser calming packs to restore balance to rosacea-prone skin. This treatment is frequently combined with vascular lasers (V-beam, IPL), Centella infusions, or cooling care to maximize skin recovery.
For rosacea, Propolis Calming Mask Therapy:
- Reduces redness, irritation, and inflammation.
- Enhances skin barrier repair and hydration.
- Provides antimicrobial protection against triggers.
- Promotes faster recovery after lasers or flare-ups.
Purpose & Benefits
- Anti-Inflammatory Relief: Calms rosacea-related redness and flare-ups.
- Barrier Strengthening: Restores skin resilience against triggers.
- Healing Boost: Speeds recovery after laser or chemical treatments.
- Hydration Support: Deeply moisturizes to reduce dryness and tightness.
- Antimicrobial Properties: Protects against harmful bacteria and microbes.
- Combination-Friendly: Works well with lasers, cooling care, or medicated creams.
